DILLA "DIAMONDS"

I posted a "clip" of a DJ's live set that featured a track called "Diamonds" from Dilla's MCA album...I'm not gonna post it again, but I would like to know why it was deleted? Like I said, it came from a rip of a DJ's set...it wasn't an actual mp3 of the song...What's the problem with that? I remember people posting audio clips from Giles Peterson's show...what's the difference?

I was one of the guys that posted a recording from a Giles Peterson show and back then they had it so where ever you uploaded it (ie yousendit) would have the address changed so that your link wouldn't work for anyone else.

Yeah...well my entire post was removed from the message board and I was sent a private message which I was unable to read because of this:

Haha its not that bad man..anyways man this shit really bothers me.. House Shoes told me this MCA joint is coming eventually, they're having a tough time trying to get it released.. that Diamonds track is a perfect promo for it..people need to hear how dope this shit is.. Why would ST not want this to be heard? Am I wrong??

I think you'd be surprised by the scrutiny ST gets from the industry. They are no longer under the radar. Even a live recorded track is considered pirating. We are in a dark age where that is concerned.

In a sense, I guess can understand why the post was deleted...I just can't figure out why I was banned. I've tried emailing the administrator and have yet to receive a response. Anyways, if ST is getting the scrutiny from the industry (as stated by taza_one earlier) then I'm sorry for posting the track. I had no intention of getting anyone in trouble. I just thought it was a great track and I wanted people to hear it. I've purchased almost everything Dilla & Stones Throw have released and I intend on purchasing the MCA album if and when it comes out.
